Explore the Best of Gift, Home, &
Accessories with Immersive Experiences, Emerging Talent, and a
Hybrid Marketplace at August 2024 Event
NY NOW, the premier wholesale trade show in New York City
serving the gift, home, and accessories marketplace, today is
pleased to unveil exciting plans as it continues its 100th
anniversary celebration this August at the Summer 2024 Market.
Returning to New York City's Javits Center from August 4–7,
2024, NY NOW’s Summer Market 2024 will showcase key enhancements
aimed at providing a collaborative and immersive experience for the
thousands of exhibitors and attendees that gather at the preeminent
event. Designers, industry veterans, and media members are invited
to join buyers and suppliers across the gift, home, and accessories
sectors, promising meaningful connections within the retail capital
of the world.
In addition to commemorating a century of excellence, NY NOW
is proud to announce the release of the Summer 2024 Market
Directory on NY NOW Online, the integrated wholesale
platform that’s powered by acquired marketplace Bulletin. The
shoppable Directory showcases confirmed exhibitors and serves as a
dedicated guide for those attending the upcoming market. Exhibitors
can seamlessly upload their products and leverage the platform's
e-commerce features, while buyers can discover, shop, and connect
with exhibitors all year round, extending the NY NOW experience far
beyond the biannual events.
This dynamic platform greatly aligns with NY NOW's mission to
facilitate invaluable connections between buyers and exhibitors
while providing meaningful networking opportunities year-round. NY
NOW remains dedicated to providing seamless, connection-driven
functionality both online and in-person, allowing meaningful
relationships to flourish across the retail and design realms.
“In our centennial year, NY NOW’s primary focus is mastering
‘intimacy at scale,’” says Kim Mancuso-Telford, General Manager of
NY NOW. “Even as we grow, we're intent on continuing to provide the
intimate interactions and key networking opportunities that our
partners value. Our commitment to advancing the future of the
industry while fostering meaningful connections within our
community ensures that NY NOW paves the way for the next 100 years
of ingenuity and collaboration.”
Twice a year, NY NOW draws top buyers who eagerly anticipate the
latest debuts, high-end designs, and must-have wares across three
core categories — Gift & Lifestyle, Home, and Jewelry &
Accessories. Tens of thousands of retailers trust this meticulously
curated market for trendspotting, brand discovery, and networking
with industry trailblazers.
As the Summer Market approaches, NY NOW continues to commemorate
its 100-year legacy through immersive experiences, live
programming, lobby installations, and vibrant receptions across the
show floor. These initiatives aim to deepen community connections,
celebrate the industry's long-standing commitment to this event,
and ignite enthusiasm for the market's promising future. More
details on these show enhancements will be coming soon.
“Innovation is at the heart of everything we do,” said Matthew
Mathiasen, Event Director of NY NOW. “Our renewed focus on programs
that nurture emerging talent, such as the NY NOW Incubator and
CURATED at Luxury Lifestyle (formerly known as the Emerging Fine
Jewelry Designer Incubator), ensures that our buyers will be met
with unparalleled product discovery this August. We're also
continuing to focus on dynamic panels and discussions, which offer
valuable insights to help elevate businesses by staying ahead of
industry trends. Attendees can look forward to thought-provoking
sessions on topics like meeting consumer expectations to maximize
relevance and loyalty, and harnessing AI for retail success.”
NY NOW also offers Market "Destinations" on the show floor to
foster and connect specialized communities. These destinations
include:
- Rising Artisans (a program for global makers)
- Luxury Lifestyle (a community of luxury jewelry and accessory
designers – the aforementioned CURATED program for emerging talent
exists within this sector)
- The NY NOW Incubator (new-to-NY NOW brands under 5 years
old)

exhibit together, often sponsored by their respective nations)
